    Post Is it possible?

    Hi everyone a really dumb question, I was talking to this guy the other day and he said that his VZ Berlina's window's wind up automaticly when he locks it. Can you set a VZ Executive to do that or do you think he has got something to get his car to do that?
    Thanks

    didn't think that sort of stuff was factory but i know you can add it with an aftermarket kit.

    There is a company that has sold a few kits on ebay recently that wind the windows up automatically when you use the deadlock feature (press the button twice).
    The ebay starting price was $99 or if you bought it directly form thier shop they are $199.
    Sorry can't find the link at the moment.

    No, it would be illegal as ADR's stipulate that the windows cannot activate automatically to close. What do you think might happen if a child had their head out through the window waving 'bye bye' to daddy/mummy and suddenly it closed (without warning) and strangled the child. You really do need to understand that certain safety features are designed and built-in to vehicles for a reason and that to interfere with or disable them si not only morally wrong but in most cases illegal.

    (Any (ANY) modification(s), unless approved to ADR standards, that change/alter/modify any aspect of your vehicle from the ADR standards/requirements that existed at the time of manufacture of your vehicle are ILLEGAL.)

    LMFAO. put your hand in the window when you put it up, and watch as it magically goes back down (same setup as a roller door).

    What ADR does it state its illegal?

    There are a few cars on the market that come from factory with this option...

    I think the bigger issue would be why the kid was driving on its own in the first place...


    The auto up/auto down windows have an "anti-pinch" function, which does exactly that, when it senses that the window has not reached full extension, but meets some resistance it goes straight back down again. You can even have your finger in there and it wont crush it like a normal window would.

    I suggest you do a bit of research before you start spouting claims of ADR's.

    The Golf Mk V has that feature, but to operate the windows, you hold the lock button down and the doors lock, then all window shut. The safety part is the fact that you have to hold the button down, though - the windows don't close automatically.

    Come on man, without misinformation, there wouldn't be any need for the internet.

    As said, this is how the aftermarket kits work. They don't just randomly go up, like people suggest.

    I thought it was standard on all hsv's as my mates R8 has it. It's a box that just plugs into the bcm.

    My senator has this feature on the wndows but I do not use it although the sunroof is still working that way.
    In summer when the car is on the driveway I leave the windows down a little but the sunroof closes as soon a you lock the car.
